Had two rather big surprises this morning...
- Andy Greenwald and Chris Ryan of the Grantland Hollywood Podcast - put out a special TALKING ABOUT EMO podcast this week.
- Andy Greenwald is the author of a book I read a number of years ago called NOTHING FEELS GOOD - a book that touched on Punk Rock, Teenagers and "Emo"
I never put the two "Andy Greenwald" together until this morning tho'. If you're a fan of said genre (ugh... its not a fucking genre) - I highly recommend you check it out.
My copy of NOTHING FEELS GOOD. It's one of the few books that I ever recall covering the scene of the late 90's and early 00's.
Below is a small playlist put together by Andy... BRAID's Urbana's Too Dark is featured in the middle of the playlist... Other great tracks to check out by: Sunny Day Real Estate, Mineral, Texas is the Reason, Rites of Spring, The Promise Ring, Ida and Jets to Brazil
